Improving Network Reliability; How To Configure A Stacked Switch To Ensure High Server Availability - ZyXEL Communications GS2210 series Handbook

Improving Network Reliability

3.1 How to configure a stacked switch to ensure high server
availability
The example shows administrators how to configure a stacked switch to
ensure high server availability. In this example, we stack Switch-1 and
Switch-2 into one logical switch. By stacking the switch together, even if
one switch goes offline, clients can still reach the server. This ensures
high availability for servers. This example instructs administrators to
disconnect all links before configuring the switches to avoid any
network outages caused by broadcast storms.
Note:
All network IP addresses and subnet masks are used as examples in this article.
Please replace them with your actual network IP addresses and subnet masks. This
example was tested using XGS4600-32 (Firmware Version: V4.50) and GS2210-48HP
(Firmware Version: V4.30).
This feature is for L2(XGS2210)/ L2+(XGS3700)/ L3(XGS4600) capable switches only.
